Heavenly Strike

[Ranth]

Technique Name: Heavenly Strike

Class: 3

Technique Type: Kido/Hakuda

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Shinigami, Vizard, Characters with access to Kido

Technique Element: n/a

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):

There are many Hakuda based techniques that boast the ability to allow their users to deliver attacks that transcend their regular limits. Often, these techniques come in the form of stat boosts or by temporarily bolstering physical capabilities. Heavenly Strike is similar in that it allows its user to deliver an attack that is far more powerful than what they could achieve without it, but it also provides exceptional utility to those who master it.

In simple terms, Heavenly Strike is a technique that condenses the users Reiatsu around one the bodies key striking points (feet, knees, fists and elbows) and charging at high speed in a straight line. The user is propelled by their own RS at a static speed of 1000. Upon impact with a solid object, the reiatsu that propelled the user can then be released through one of the earlier mentioned striking points to create a shockwave that spreads out from the point of impact in a sphere. The power of the shockwave is always equal to the users RS.

At the Learned level, the maximum range of the strike is equal to [RS/4] meters in a straight line, whilst the radius of the shockwave is equal to [2 meters per 100 RS]

At the Proficient level, the maximum range of the strike is equal to [RS/3] meters in a straight line, whilst the radius of the shockwave is equal to [4 meters per 100 RS]

At the Mastered Level, the maximum range of the strike is equal to [RS/2] meters in a straight line, whilst the radius of the shockwave is equal to [6 meters per 100 RS].

How to use technique (How is it activated?):

Propel yourself forwards using compressed reiatsu before releasing it through a single striking point (listed above).

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc):

The major drawback of this technique lies in the fact that Shunpo exists, thus making it incredibly difficult to land upon any of the races with a step technique (which is all of them). In addition, the shockwave that this technique is capable of creating requires a direct impact with a solid object to trigger (which means no air punches). Furthermore, this technique requires committing to a single direction of travel, which can make for an easy target against canny opponents. Finally, the user must travel at least 5 meters before a collision occurs in order to trigger the shockwave.

In order to learn this technique, the user must possess at least a 2 in both the Kido and Hakuda (or equivalent) Skills.

So i'm gonna give this a 1/2. The only thing i'm iffy about, is his speed being based off RS. But seeing how it'll never exceed 3x and it's a single attack, i'm fine with it.

I, like Bomei, would like to point out that ordinarily we would not allow a technique like this to scale its Speed off the user’s RS. However, given that the technique also has a Strength requirement in its drawback, and therefore is more limited in its use, I am happy to let it as is. My only request is that you flesh out the nature of this recoil damage - so that there is no writing around the drawbacks of this technique. Sprained ankle, torn muscle, broken bones - please explicitly state the repercussions of using this technique without the appropriate strength. Once that is done, I’d be happy to give this my 2/2.

After discussing this technique in the help section with John, I've done a significant overhaul of the mechanics behind this technique (as well as changed the name).

[Johnwaluigi]

Alright, I’m happy with most of these changes. However there are a few things I would like to tweak:

The range of the shockwaves should scale off RS, rather than the Kido Mastery skill. Something along the lines of 2 metres per 100 points in RS, perhaps increasing to 4 and 6 at the different levels of Mastery.

As for the drawbacks, please increase the minimum travel distance to form a shockwave from 3 to 5 metres. And finally, as a Hakuda technique, this technique should have some Hakuda Skill requirement. As a Class 3 technique, I would recommend that it would require at least a 2 in Hakuda to learn.
